Free webinar: Reducing risks with safety-critical software

The folks at Microsemi are hosting a free webinar on how to reduce risk in safety-critical applications with the use of Microsemi SmartFusion2 FPGAs and SAFERTOS safety-critical software.

This webinar will take place on Thursday, February 21, 2013 from 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM PST.

About the webinarGlobal economic conditions are forcing many into redesign for differentiation; thus, many companies are increasingly using international standards to ensure quality and high reliability. Reducing risks when developing safety-critical software is assisted by the use of pre-certified software components such as the SAFERTOS.

The SAFERTOS is an embedded Real Time Operating System from WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems, which features certification evidence contained within the Design Assurance Pack to smooth your path to achieving product certification.

In this webinar you will learn about:

Using IEC61508 certified safety critical software

Developing SIL level applications on Microsemi SmartFusion FPGAs

The certification evidence contained within the Design Assurance Pack.
